CNC machining is a process by which parts and other items are crafted from metal blanks. By using software to direct the machinery that shapes the metal being used, CNC machining is more consistent, precise, and scalable than worker-mediated machining. A variety of metals can be CNC machined, including copper. Schantz Machine & Fabrication can give you a quote for any copper CNC machining services you may need. We also offer CNC Design for Manufacturing (DFM) services for your next project.
So, how is copper CNC machined? It’s a fairly straightforward process that is largely similar to any other CNC machining process.
Run the CNC program: After loading your copper blank on the machine, run the program. CNC milling and turning occur at this stage.
Using copper can be advantageous for a number of reasons. It is highly conductive, making it ideal for electrical and electronics applications. Copper is also durable and corrosion-resistant while remaining relatively affordable, making it attractive for projects that need to be completed on a tight budget. Many people find copper visually pleasing as well, adding to its appeal.
What sorts of products are made by copper CNC machining? The range of products produced by CNC-machined copper is as wide as its advantages would indicate. Electricians, plumbers, electronics designers, and more use machined copper components every day. Schantz’s electrical bus bars, for example, are placed in electrical systems where they offer design advantages over wires and cabling. Examples of copper components produced by CNC milling include:
